Real & Raw

In this episode I was joined by a former long standing life coaching client, and friend of mine, Hannah Barrett who featured on the podcast in 2021, Episode 15.

Within this episode, we spoke about her journey of discovering her purpose, following a life altering accident which led her to where she is today, a qualified personal trainer, sports massage therapist and reformer pilates instructor as well as a first class honour degree graduate in Physiology which she went back to university for at the age of 30 to pursue an entirely new life path which has also led her to opening her own business, Physical Finesse where she teaches 1:1 Reformer Pilates, coaching people of all ages & promoting increased strength & mobility through a unique combination of stretching & strengthening. 

Hannah will soon also be offering private Physiotherapy to help people recover & find themselves again, following injury; something she is highly passionate about following her own life experiences.

Reformer pilates has become extremely trendy the last couple of years, so I wanted to hear from Hannah:

• Why is pilates all of a sudden become popular?
• Is it worth the hype?
• Who and what is it for?
• Where should you start as a beginner?
• How can this help me regardless of my age?
• What else can I do to improve my overall health especially in regards to strength and mobility.

Money is such an interesting topic, and it's one we aren't taught anything about through the educational system, and therefore rely on our parents to guide us with financial literacy.
